For sale here is a real deal 1970 Competition Gold Cougar Eliminator.
Numbers matching original 351 Cleveland 4V big block motor with the original 4 speed transmission with Hurst shifter. The car was repainted years ago with a good driver quality paint job, the current color is a little more orange than (the original) Competition Gold color. The interior features the original high back bucket seats that are in really nice shape. All dash and exterior lights work as they should including the sequential taillights and hideaway headlights. The car runs and drives as it should, featuring a very strong engine. There is a slight draw on the battery which will drain the car if not driven frequently that I haven't quite solved yet. I have installed a quick battery disconnect that twists on and off to alleviate this issue until it is corrected. There is no radio in the car. There is a slight exhaust leak behind the engine that gives a slight raspy sound to the exhaust - however several people have noted that they like the resulting sound better than a "perfect" exhaust note. This is a very original and truly Rare Eliminator - see the 2 attached Elite Marti report that break down the options 2 different ways showing it is a 1 of 1 car - the only one to be optioned in this manner. A wonderful car to enjoy today and restore to perfection tomorrow - a fun car and Very Fast. Feel free to call my mechanic Rick (443-375-7026) with any questions regarding the vehicle and its condition. |

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
